Out of Egypt
Matthew 2:13-21
This Epiphany, we revisit a familiar story with fresh eyes.
After the Magi depart, an angel warns Joseph to flee with Mary and the child—not just anywhere, but to Egypt. In this sermon, we explore what it means that Africa became the place of refuge for the Son of God.
This sermon explores the deep theological meaning of Africa as a place of refuge, memory, and collective power in God’s story. Out of Egypt challenges us to reimagine salvation beyond empire and to rediscover the wisdom God placed in communities that know how to survive together.
